Chapter 7: True Feelings
"Riku! The dresses have arrived!" yelled Risa from downstairs.
Riku groaned and she slowly opened her eyes as she laid down on her bed. Riku then looked at her clock, '2:46! I can't believe I slept that long!'
Riku quickly jumped out of her bed and then she remembered, "Oh yeah, it's only Saturday." She fell back down on her bed.
Just then, a girl walked into her room, "Hey Riku, you awake yet?"
Riku didn't make a sound.
"It's almost three o' clock and the dance will begin at five o' clock. You'd better wake up and get ready," said Risa as she turned around.
Riku then turned her look at her sister, "The dance?"
Risa turned back around, "Yeah, you'd better get up soon."
Riku groaned once again and then jumped out of her bed getting ready to get ready.
----------
"Hey Krad, are you going too?" asked Dark as he stood in the doorway of Krad's room.
Krad didn't bother to look at Dark and continued to close his eyes as he laid on his bed resting, "No."
Dark then turned around and began to walk away from Krad's room, 'I'm sorry for hurting the one...the one that you loved the most. I always knew that you loved her...too, so I thought if I told her that I didn't love her that she would come running to you. Instead, I made things worse. I hope one day you'll forgive me for stealing her heart in the first place. In the end not did I only lose Rika, but I also lost you, my brother.' (corniness, hehe)

Knock Knock
When the door creaked open the girls turned around to see who it was.
"Ladies, your dates have arrived," said the maid grinning.
"Okay, thank you," said Risa excitedly. "Hurry and get your shoes on, I'm gonna go ahead, okay?"
Riku smiled at her sister, "Okay."
Riku then picked up her shoe and examined it, 'How am I suppose to walk in these?'
She then threw them back to the floor and went to her closet to look for some nice comfortable shoes that would match fine with her dress.
When she found a shoe that matched, she quickly slipped it on and ran out her door.
As she walked down the stairs she noticed that someone staring at her. Dark stared at her in awe.
Riku had her hair in curls (remember with short hair) with her bangs slanted to the side (you guys know what I mean?). She wore a simple peach dress that had straps that covered her shoulders. The dress nicely flowed down to the floor, and in addition she wore a ribbon around her neck that matched nicely with her dress.
When Riku had finally reached the last step, Dark quickly walked up to her and took her hand, "Shall we get going?"
Riku nodded as she went out the door and intothe car with Dark. She then whispered, "Can you let go of my hand now?"
Dark acted as if he didn't hear and just smirked. Riku glared at him as she tried to lose his grip, but failed.
----------
When they had finally reached the place where the dance was held, Dark and Riku stepped out of the car as the door opened for them.
As they walked into the building they were greeted by Satoshi and Risa. "Hi you guys, why don't you guys come take a seat with us over here?" asked Risa.
Dark and Riku nodded their head as they walked towards the table. Just then, Dark stopped Riku and said, "Would you like to dance?"
Riku's left eye then twitched a bit, "Dance? Umm...I'm really not that good."
Dark then smirked and took her hand as they both walked to the dance floor. As the music started, Dark and Riku started to dance.
During the dance, both Dark and Riku were silent. Finally the song had ended and Dark and Riku just there at the dance floor. "Riku," Dark said. "I need to tell you somethin."
----------
Krad continued to lay on his bed as his thoughts of the past continue to play in his mind. (did that make, sense? sry...)
Memory 3
1 year later...
"Hey Krad, let's meet at our secret spot tommorow, okay?" asked the girl.
"Sure," said Krad.
"Hey what about me?" Dark asked as he pouted.
"Sorry Dark, but friends only," the girl giggled and ran off.
-----Next Day-----
"You know what Krad?" said a voice from behind him.
He turned around to her, "What Rika?"
"How come you hardly ever smile?"
Krad thought about it for a moment and then said, "I guess, there was never really anything for me to smile for..."
"Well, then why don't you smile for me then?" said Rika happily.
He looked at her a bit suprised from what she had just said.
"We are friends, aren't we?"
"Friends..." the word escaped Krad's mouth. "Rika..."
Rika then looked at Krad and said, "Uhuh?"
"I love you..."
There was a long silence till' Rika hugged Krad, "I love you too!"
Krad then sighed releived to hear that she returned his feelings.
"Like I said before, you are the best friend I have ever had. Now I have a feeling that we'll be best friends forever, and I'm glad."
At that moment, Krad then felt like an arrow had been shot at his heart, 'What?'
Rika then pulled away from the hug and said a bit nervous, "You know, I've been holding in my deepest secret to myself. Now, I want to tell you because you're my best friend. You see, a few months ago I was running in the park, I bumped into Dark-san. We hung out for a while and at the end of the day...he kissed me...and told me...that he was falling in love with me. Ever since that day, I had I had been in love with him. "
'In love with him!' Krad couldn't take it anymore. It all came charging at him all at once.
Rika then said as she looked at her watch, "Hey, umm, I have to go now...there something that I have to do. So see you later!" Rika ran off as Krad stood there looking into the sun setting sky.
'Heh,' thought Krad. 'Maybe I should be getting home.'
As he got closer and closer to his home he saw two dark figures in the distance...Dark and Rika.
Krad then noticed that Rika was crying. At that moment he quickly walked up to the two. He hated to see Rika cry like that.
When he eached the two, Dark said, "Hey Kr-"
Krad swung his arm into Dark's face, 'I can't beleive Rika said that she loved you...' Krad then reached out for Rika and said, "Come on, I'll take you home."
Once they reached her home he watched her walk to her door and smiled sadly to her as the same words repeated in his head, 'I love Dark-san...' "Get a good noght sleep okay?"
Rika nodded and walked into her house. She then turned back around, "Thank you...for always being there for me."
-----Next Day-----
"Ahhhhhh!" a girl screamed as she stood in front of the school building looking at the rooftop. As Krad looked up he felt his heart stop a beat as he saw the face of the person on the rooftop.
He then quickly ran for the stairs thinking, 'Rika...' Finally he had reached the last footstep, he then swung the door open and then ran for Rika.
"Please..."
Krad stopped as he heard her voice, "Rika...don't"
"Please Krad don't come any closer..." She then turned around so that she would face him. She smiled weakly when she saw Krad, "He said that he didn't love me...and I was kinda hoping...hoping that Dark would come, but..."
Rika then laughed weakly, "Krad...you aways seem to be there for me and that's why I hope for you to always be happy...Krad...just promise me that..."
Rika turned back around facing the crowd as a tear fell from her face, "...always..smile.." At that moment Rika then began to walk off the edge, "smile for me..."
End of Memory 3
'Always smile for you? How can I smile for you when...when you are dead?' thought Krad. He then slowly got up and waked out of the room.
----------
"Umm, Dark," Riku cut him off. "Sorry, I was wondering if you could tell me later? Right now I need to go to the bathroom...sorry."
Dark then looked at Riku with a bit of disappointment, "Sure."
As soon as he said that she quickly left the room. She then left the building and walked into a garden, 'Finally, fresh air.'
Riku then noticed her whereabouts and thought to herself, 'This place is so beautiful.' She then looked into the sky, 'Tonight's a full moon.' Just then a shooting star appeared. Riku stared at it for a moment and then quickly closed her eyes making a wish.
At that moment she felt a body behind her as the person's warm arms wrapped around her.
"Dark?" asked Riku in suprise.
No answer.
"Sorry Dark, I just really needed t-"
"Riku..."
Her whole body froze when she heard the voice, 'Krad?'
His grip around her tightened when he said, "I want to...be with you..."
Riku's eyes widened as she felt that her heart had just jumped a beat.
